Chapter 2

Taki rode Eclipse trough the dark road. Every step that Eclipse took was very careful since the poor horse was scared. The dead trees around the place covered the moonlight, making the place really terrifying. The only thing that kept the light on was a little torch that Taki brought just in case. But even that didn't light things up too much.

A wolf howl was heard and Eclipse took a space back.

"Calm down. We will be fine" Taki tried to calm the horse when the truth was that he was trying to calm himself.

More and more howl were heard by Taki and Eclipse, thus making the horse back away until he bumped into a tree. As this happened thousands of bats came out of the tree. Eclipse freaked out and ran until he reached a cliff.

"Just great" Taki muttered. The horse was terrified.

"Steady. Steady" Taki once again tried to calm the horse but it was no use. Eclipse freaked out and knocked Taki to the ground and left him alone.

Taki looked at his surroundings. Just when he thought he was safe the wolves appeared. He quickly got up and started running as fast as his legs allowed him to. He ran and ran until he tripped over a root. When all hopes were lost he looked in front of him.

'A gate' he thought. He quickly got up once again and started shaking it.

"Open up please! I need help!" he screamed as loud as he could but no one answered. After some more shakes the gate opened by itself, allowing Taki to enter the safer place.

A relieved sigh left his lips as the wolves ran away knowing that it would be useless trying to get in.

Taki once again examined his surroundings. A big, old and dark castle was right in front of him. A storm took place at the moment and lighting were falling all around it. But it was better staying there than staying outside being devoured by hungry wolves.

He slowly approached the entrance and opened the door. The building was huge. There had to be somebody living there.

"Hello?" he called but received no response.

He shivered a little. It was a little cold inside. And he could swear that he could hear some whispers.

"Is anyone here?" He called and still received no answer. But he couldn't give up now.

"I lost my horse and I need a place to stay for the night" He continued.

In a little table to figures were whispering to each other.

"Do not say one single word until the human leaves" the cloak whispered.

"Come on. The poor guy needs a place to stay. It's only one night" the candle insisted.

The clock shook his head.

"Cross, Kaname specifically said not to let anyone in the castle. The man has to leave"

"Shut up and let us enjoy our first guest Haruka" the candle said and turned to Taki. "Welcome. Of course you can stay for the night"

Taki turned to see to where the voice was coming from. When he saw nobody he picked up Cross.

"Hello?" he asked.

Cross tapped Taki's head with his 'hand' Taki directed his attention to Cross.

"Hello sir" Taki dropped Cross. How can a candle talk?

When Cross hit the ground the fire went away.

"How can this be?" Taki stared at Cross in amazement.

"Now this is great. This is just what we needed. A human in our castle" Haruka decided to show himself.

Taki picked up Haruka. "This is simply amazing" he examined Haruka, wanting to see what could make a clock talk or move. Cross chuckled at Haruka's frustration.

"Would you leave that!" Haruka stopped Taki.

"I'm sorry. It's just that I have never seen such thing" Taki explained himself. He carefully placed Haruka next to Cross.

Haruka looked angrily at Cross.

"Do you know how angry my son is going to be?" he asked.

"He doesn't have to know" Cross smirked and turned his attention back to Taki. "You must be cold sir. Come and warn yourself by the fire"

Taki nodded and followed Cross until they reached a big room. It had a lot of space and a big chair was located right in front of a fire place. That fire place was the only light available in the room. Cross signaled Taki to sit at the chair, which said person gladly did.

"Not my son's chair. Absolutely not" Haruka complained.

A tea pot and a little cup appeared.

"Would you like some nice and warm tea sir?" the tea pot offered.

Haruka shook his head. " Juri, Kaname won't allow this"

Juri rolled her eyes. "He is our son so what we say goes" she said.

"Sorry for my husband's behavior. We haven't had any guests in years" she smiled. "Would you like the tea?"

"Of course" Taki said.

Juri started pouring some tea in the little tea cup. Once she was done Taki grabbed it and took a sip of it.

"It tickles mom" the cup giggled.

"Just stay still Yuki" Juri said in her sweet motherly voice.

Just when Taki thought that everything was going to be ok the door opened. It was so strong that the fire disappeared. All of the 'people' that attended them were shivering.

"Damn" Haruka whispered.

Taki was scared like hell. What could scare all of this 'people'? He really didn't want to find out but it's not like he had a choice. He turned his head sideways to find the most terrifying sight ever. A huge beast stood there. He could not be seen to much due to the darkness but Taki could still see his fangs. They were huge. And his red eyes held nothing more than anger.

"Who dares to let this human in here?" the beast spoke.

None of them spoke.

"I asked a question" he growled.

"Ka-Kaname. We were j-just trying t-to help him" Cross explained.

Kaname's attention went back Taki.

"What the hell are you staring at!" he asked.

"I...I mean no harm. I just wanted a place to stay" Taki tried to sound as brave as he could. But the attempt failed. The beast, Kaname, picked Taki by his shirt and looked directly at his eyes.

"I'll give you a place to stay" he muttered.

"Wha-what are yo-you going t-to do?" Taki asked.

Kaname didn't respond. He just continued walking to his destination. They kept walking until the reached a very dark room. You could say that it was the darkest room in the entire castle. The dungeon. Taki only wished that he didn't invented that stupid machine.

And done. Kaname and Zero still haven't met but they will. Soon. Review :).
